Adani Realty, the real estate arm of Adani Group, has built its Mumbai presence through a calculated strategy of entering locations where large, difficult-to-replicate land parcels are available at the intersection of heritage and renewal. Adani Realty is the real estate arm of one of India's leading infrastructure and development entities, Adani Group. The company has developed close to 33 million sq ft and approximately 144 million sq ft of real estate space is under development, including residential, commercial, and social club projects across Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Pune, and Gurugram.
In Mumbai specifically, Adani Realty has been rapidly expanding with over a dozen active projects, many of them revitalizations of stalled or bankrupt developments acquired at discount prices — a strategy that has allowed the firm to scale quickly. Byculla West fits this pattern precisely: a former mill district whose land economics and South Mumbai address made it viable for a generational residential project that few developers could underwrite at this scale.
From their first project in 2010, Adani Shantigram (approved by AUDA), Adani Realty has grown to deliver a range of successful projects. The Mumbai portfolio now spans Andheri West, Kanjurmarg, BKC, and Byculla — covering both the western suburbs and the island city's historic core.
Monte South is a residential address in the prime location of Byculla, presented jointly by Marathon Realty and Adani Group. The high-rise elevations offer 2, 2.5, 3 and 3.5 BHK apartments with decks in selective configurations. These residences are designed by architect Hafeez Contractor.
The development features 64-storey towers with grand podium amenities on a 12.5-acre freehold land parcel near the Eastern Express Highway. The site address — Khatau Mills Compound, adjacent to Y Bridge, Byculla West, Mumbai 400008 — anchors Monte South firmly on a former industrial land parcel that is among the largest available in South Mumbai.
The project is phased across four towers, each named after a Swiss alpine peak. Tower A, named Titlis, is currently ready for occupancy. The building features a floor plan consisting of G+7 podium levels, 8 floors of amenities, and 9 to 64 habitable floors. Tower B, named Pilatus, is currently near possession, with a floor plan of G+7P+8 amenities and 9 to 64 habitable floors. Tower C, named Zermatt, is currently under construction. Tower C has a G+6P layout, with floors 7 to 64 designated as habitable, and possession is scheduled for June 2027 for floors up to the 30th, while floors 31 to 64 are expected to be ready by December 30, 2027.
Adani Monte South offers exclusive 2, 2.5, 3 and 3.5 BED deck apartments starting from ₹2.80 Cr. A 2 BHK home at Monte South is 746–958 sq ft in size, with 2.5 BHK homes offering additional space. A 3 BHK home at Monte South ranges from 1,090 to 1,354 sq ft, featuring high ceilings and panoramic views.
The sky residences above the 45th floor offer breathtaking panoramic views of the city. Among the 50-plus amenities available, residents can enjoy private decks, a podium beach, and an Amazon-themed forest. Monte South also features a swimming pool, Jain temple, palm court, pool deck, pergolas, senior citizens corner, lotus pond, multipurpose sports court, gym, jogging track, beach volleyball, indoor games room, kids play area, skating rink, and golf putting range.
The project's recognition speaks to its architectural ambition. Monte South has received awards including Best High Rise Architecture Asia Pacific 2017 and Luxury Project of 2017 by DNA Real Estate.
Monte South is registered under MahaRERA with Project Registration Numbers P51900001936, P51800001779, P51800001681, P51800001585, P51900001346, and P51800002818. Like all Adani Realty projects in Mumbai, Monte South is a MahaRERA-approved project.
Byculla is a suburb with old-world charm. It was home to one of the first railway stations, the first residential club, the first museum, the original home to the turf club of Bombay, and home to the largest mills in the city. For Adani Realty, the significance of Byculla West is that it offers what the rest of South Mumbai cannot: enough contiguous freehold land to build an 800-unit-plus campus at 64 floors. Such parcels do not recur in this geography.
Monte South's location is remarkable, situated in Byculla, with easy access to South Mumbai, Lower Parel, the Western and Eastern Express Highways, and the freeway. Byculla is well connected to the Eastern Express Highway, Eastern Freeway, Saifee Hospital, J.J. Hospital, Palladium Mall, High Street Phoenix, Atria Mall, BKC, Colaba, Kalaghoda, Fort, CSMT Station, and Mumbai's domestic and international airports.
The metro and monorail connectivity is excellent, with the nearest station at Mahalakshmi being at the intersection of Metro Line 3, the Western Railway, and the monorail. Looking ahead, the underground Metro Line 11 will connect Byculla, Fort, and Gateway of India, enhancing connectivity in the bustling parts of south Mumbai. Upon the functional commencement of Metro 11, the current heavy dependence on buses and taxis in the Byculla–CSMT–Ballard Pier–Colaba stretch is anticipated to significantly decrease.
Road infrastructure is also being upgraded at the neighbourhood level. The BMC has announced that construction of the Byculla cable-stayed east–west connector is 72 per cent complete. The 800-metre bridge, featuring a central cable-stayed span, will provide seamless connectivity from Nana Chowk to JJ Flyover, significantly reducing travel time.
Key landmarks near Monte South include J.J. Hospital at 1.8 km and Nehru Science Centre at 2.7 km. Saifee Hospital is 3.3 km away, Prince Aly Khan Hospital is 1.9 km away, and Jaslok Hospital is 4.5 km away. The proximity of Byculla to South Mumbai's established commercial districts — Fort, Churchgate, Nariman Point — positions Monte South residents within 15–20 minutes of the city's oldest and densest employment centres on a clear road day.
Average property rates per sq ft in Byculla West, Mumbai South for flats stand around ₹45,000 per sq ft. Flat rates in Byculla West changed by 20.8% in the last one year, 17.0% in the last three years, and 52.3% in the last ten years. Monte South, as the neighbourhood's largest and most amenity-rich project, transacts at a premium to the locality average. Monte South recorded 23 registered transactions in the last one year in Byculla, placing it among the most actively transacted projects in the area.
The broader Mumbai luxury market provides tailwinds for this positioning. The luxury segment continues to thrive, fuelled by strong demand from HNIs and a shift in buyer preferences. The demand for luxury homes in Mumbai remains robust, driven by superior infrastructure, proximity to commercial hubs, and the appeal of modern, well-planned developments. New pieces of land in Mumbai are scarce, resulting in a shortage of supply, mainly in prime locations like Bandra and South Mumbai. Byculla West, with Monte South as its anchor, sits precisely in this supply-constrained zone.
Adani Monte South at Byculla West, Mumbai, is a combined venture by Marathon Group and Adani Realty. Marathon Group is a 49-year-old Mumbai-based real estate development company that has completed over 80 projects in the city, providing homes for more than 5,000 families, retail spaces for 400 retailers, and offices for 350 businesses. The pairing brings together Adani's financial depth and construction technology capability with Marathon's deep knowledge of South Mumbai land and regulatory processes — a combination that has enabled Monte South to reach the near-possession stage across its first two towers.
